An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green

5.0

Okay this book just annihilated my expectations. It was my perfect novel. Fast, witty, morally ambiguous, sci-fi, and relatable. I feel like this book will be around for a long time as a perfect example of the ups and downs of social media. Hank Green has almost predicted with insane accuracy how crazy it became in 2020 to go on the internet and argue with strangers (but this was published in 2018). In hundreds of years, they will be reading this book in schools to analyze how social media invaded our lives at this precise moment in history. And I need more!!! Also, if there was ever a book I’m DYING to see made into a film, it’s this. I would kill to see a Carl on screen and as a production designer, I would love to make “the dream” a reality. Ughhh read this book now. It won’t take long.
